The XIX edition of the Hradec Králové Vaccinology Days, held from 3 to 5 October 2024 at the Aldis Congress Centre in Hradec Králové, once again confirmed its position as the most important national congress on vaccination in the Czech Republic. The event attracted more than 400 participants who attended 12 expert sessions and four satellite symposia.

The main topics included the return of infectious diseases such as measles, diphtheria and whooping cough, news and recommendations in the field of vaccination and current issues related to vaccination against respiratory diseases.

The Hradec Králové Vaccinology Days 2024 were not only about expert lectures and discussions, but also offered participants a rich social program, which included the Opening Meeting of Experts and the Annual Congress Evening, which was the highlight of the evening program.

The Opening Meeting of Experts took place on Thursday 3 October 2024 at the Aldis Congress Centre in Hradec Kralove.

The annual congress evening took place on Friday 4 October 2024 and was a unique opportunity to experience the exceptional environment of the Karlova Koruna Castle in Chlumec nad Cidlinou. Great entertainment was provided by the performance of the Beetles Band – The Beatles Revival, whose music created an unforgettable atmosphere.

The event was supported by 5 partners and 5 exhibitors presented themselves at the exhibition.

In conclusion, we would like to express our gratitude to all those who contributed to the organization and smooth running of the XIX Hradec Králové Vaccinology Days 2024. We would like to thank the speakers for their expert contributions, the participants for their active participation, the partners for their support and our team led by Petra Závodná for the excellent organization.
